Stained glass window by Percy Bacon & Brothers depicting Cornish Saint, St Cuby, St Cuby's & St Leonard's Church, Duloe, Cornwall
St Cuby (or Cybi) was a the son of Salomon, King of Cornwall. Cuby renounced his crown and, forsaking the pagan worship of his fellows, embraced Christianity and became a devout teacher. Cuby is represented in this window as a tonsured monk, dressed in a simple habit, and holding a golden crozier in his right hand, with his left raised in benediction. His relinquished crown sits at his feet. In the background is a representation of Stonehenge, symbolic of Cuby's conversion away from Paganism. Percy Bacon (1860-1935) was a stained glass artist. He set up his company, Percy Bacon and Brothers in Newman Street, London, in 1892. Later in 1917 the company was liquidated and he continued to produce windows and other ecclesiastical furniture and decoration under the name Percy Bacon Limited until its closure in 1933.
